PhatTonyDeMarco's Personal Build :D

[PhatTonyDeMarco 5,000+ posts]

Okay, well as most know the box didnt go well with JordanTyler. So I am building my own box. It will come out to about 6 cubes net tuned to 36Hz with ~90 sq inches of port area //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif So far everything is good, I am almost complete, as you can see in the pictures. I bought myself a set of corner clamps and they help a hell of a lot...

Also, I got my wood cut at Home Depot and slipped the guy a five dollar bill with the cutlist; he made perfect cuts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif I was very pleased, there is one thats off by about an eighth of an inch, but its not a big deal, it is a side piece that just extends past the bottom panel.

Front View (on its side):

Internal:

Port Opening:

Bottom View:

I still need to cut the sub cutout (which is an 18" TC 4HP) and cut the hole for the terminal cup, but I cant find my compass so I need to take a trip to WalMart really quick...

I am also planning to lay down a few layers of fiberglass on the interior.

Does that work:eyebrow: , s**t I may try that, instead of cutting my own.

Yeah, I had my cut list written out on a sticky paper and had the five stuck to the back.

I hope to finish it completely tomorrow, not sure if I am going to cover it yet. I still need to get my alt from Mean Green before I can put everything in.

BTW: Just make your own jig to do the circle and terminal cut-out.

Just grab a piece of cardboard big enough, or a spare thin strip of wood.Drill at hole at one end, find the middle of everything.Mark where you want to put the sub, drill a hole and screw your jig down, but not so tight it won't go in the circle.Measure from the center of the screw and punch a hole at half the diameter of the cut-out that you want to do, insert pencil and go all the way around.

Should give you a perfect circle //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

^ that works, can also use a flat piece of scrap and drill holes in it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Pretty slick, I may have to try that. I have a table saw, but am sometimes to lazy to go to my work and use it.

I think I'll give that a try, I'll let you know how it works out.

Thanks.

Yep, I have several laying around.About 2" x 18" x 3/4" that have a bunch of holes drilled and marked.Works great.
